Give more feedback about results #4

Open levyj opened 8 years ago

levyj commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to get more feedback about the results of the Socrata Output step. On failure, the reason is in the Kettle Log, which is not terrible but can be a bit hidden, given the verbose nature of Java errors.

On success, one gets Job Status: SUCCESS in the Log. Again, this is not terrible and one often does not need to know a lot more.

However, since DataSync does return a bit more detail in both cases, it would be nice to send it to the log and/or make it available in the stream for further use. For example, the "Execute a process" step, which we use for our home-grown Data Sync execution, allows for capture of Result, Error, and Exit Value into the stream for further processing.

I have updated the plugin to display the full logging details of the DataSync job that runs. Capturing the result for use further into the transformation will take some additional effort, but I believe it could be done. If you have a chance to download the latest SocrataPlugin.zip file and let me know what you think, that would be very helpful!

Thanks, Malinda

Thanks.
